Hi Scott!

I like it! Perfect exposure and composition. Big bird is detailed and in nice pose. I like also grey water on BG.
I've made workshop with alternative framing.

Beautiful ready to action shot, Scott.
No critiques or comments on the technical side because I don't see anything to bother me.

Hi Scott, great action shot - looks like it's a case of, "Will I? Won't I?" That's interesting seeing the breeding plumage and growth on the beak; I personally think those ugly added bits would be a hindrance to his beauty, but then I'm not a pelican!
But an excellent capture, the whites are spot on and all is nice and sharp too. Well done.

Hello Scott, nice shot. Lovely pose and very well done on the exposure. Nice work, maybe back off a little on the DOF. Very well done.

Great capture of this wonderful pelican.

Excellent whites, exposure, pose, BG and POV.

He looks frozen in time, not sure whether to take that plunge or not....

Well done and thank you Scott!

Hi Scott!
I never saw a Pelican in the real life.

This is an excellent shot. A not easy one, with all these white areas. Sometimes it helps to have clouds. IMO, you managed very well under this light condition.
Thank you.
Have a great week!

Hi Scott
I like the pose of this pelican with it's wings up. It does look strange with the bump on it's bill. Good POV.

Scott,
Great action shot! Good notes and I love the fact that you had the shoreline in the background. This is one cool shot!
I notice the curvature of the pelicas left wing resembles a airplane. Great focus and the 1/160th worked well here.
Very nice work.

Hi Scott,

Thanks for your very kind words on my "colorful view" picture; it's highly appreciated! I've also recently bought a better tripod and a remote shutter release. :) I understand exactly where you're coming from; NL isn't very scenic and I have to rely on my trips aswell. Back to your picture! :)

This is a very nice picture. The exposure really is spot on and the pose is great. POV & DOF are really good and details are sharp. Very well done & TFS! Have a great weekend my friend.

Regards,
Pieter
